Had a great experience on April 11th here with my wife & mother. Initially, we made plans to go to Eggpectations but since they shut down, we decided to give this place a shot. The staff was friendly, the food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. Our waiter, Tony, was very friendly, cracking jokes, offered insight on menu suggestions and consistently brought refills on water & coffee. Tony & other members of the wait staff exemplified exceptional professionalism & humility when a pair of women at the table next to us threw a temper tantrum slamming dishes because their steaming hot coffee wasn’t “hot enough”. If you are in the area I’d recommend coming by and getting their Parma Hash with a side of their biscuits & gravy, it was amazing.

Keep It Real

Food, service and atmosphere is good but the coffee is terrible. A breakfast place with bad coffee is not ideal. Please use better quality

This place gets very busy but we were lucky enough to go with minimal wait (Saturday at 9:15 am). About 5 minutes later, there was a long line with a half hour wait time. We know because we were seated right behind the cashier/front counter and we could hear the conversations at the front, though we would have preferred not to. It was no big deal because their service was great. Our server was attentive and gave us great recommendations since this was our first time dining here.We ordered the avocado toast, traditional breakfast, million dollar bacon, and coffee. My husband really wanted his home style potatoes crispy, well done- almost burnt. I know it’s an unusual request (or not) but his potatoes were prepared as usual, not burnt. We didn’t ask for them to re-cook it or anything because it wasn’t life or death. lol The avocado toast with eggs was delicious and so was the million dollar bacon. The coffee could definitely be better as it has more of a sour note than anything. They probably use robusta beans.One thing is for sure, we left First Watch feeling full. We had to walk around the shopping plaza just to give our body a helping hand digesting the yummy food.There’s plenty of free parking because it is located in a shopping plaza. There are even free EV charging stations in the parking lot- you just have to be lucky enough to find an empty spot.All in all, I would go back to First Watch for breakfast or brunch especially with my friends for a girl’s day out.Parking: Parking - shopping plaza. Free EV charging stations spread out.Kid-friendliness: Lots of parent with kids there. Very kid-friendly.

The food was adequate but the service and cleanliness of the restaurant was terrible. We saw our server just to take orders and had to run to the front to ask for beverages, there was spilled and puddles everywhere. I do acknowledge that this was a Sunday morning, but for the price and quality of the service I would of gone

A nice cozy place for a morning breakfast. Delicious pancakes with varied options beyond pancakes. It can get crowded, esp on Sunday mornings. Friendly staff and great for kids.Kid-friendliness: Pancakes with a healthy twist. Kids still love it
